Nonsense. I don’t know why you libertarians insist upon imposing your presence here. I understand your politics are so crackpot as to forbid any other venue, but FR isn’t a stoner forum. You dig? Maybe you should look for a stoner forum somewhere. Here, you’re merely an irritant.
Of course - they're teaspoons in the ocean, meaningless photo-ops like barrel-smashing during Prohibition. And the primary effect of the laws they enforce is to increase criminal profits to the detriment of us all.

I have facts and logic, you have tantrums. So sad for you.
I wonder if customers know that the amount of THC in legal pot is at potentially harmful levels. Anyway, I predict that doctors in the future will conclude that too much THC is harmful and all of the so called health benefits are overwhelmed by the massive amounts of the drug THC. Hindsight will be 20/20 and those of us will be saying “I told you so.”
Hey, I smoked the “rope” and it was sufficient to get a very good high. Scary to think that modern legal weed is massively stronger. I feel sorry for the users because the don't know.
<1% was not the norm - you're misinformed.

As far as I know, THC levels are disclosed - as is the alcohol content of liquor. In all cases, the dose makes the poison.
Absolutely — <1%. You are misinformed or you know and you trying to mislead.
Also people “know” about the harmful affects of tobacco. Heck there is even a SG label on the packs. Yet, the tobacco companies were sued for billions. Why? Because they lied about it being harmful. And I bet that there are some people involved in the selling and distribution of legal pot who know that it is potentially harmful at very high levels of THC.
I am not a litigious person, I dislike our modern legal system, but in the case of legal pot with extremely high levels of TCH, I will be cheering on the lawyers when the lawsuits begin.

Interesting: you have to watch the whole video — the percentage of THC started at around 1% in the 1960s, increased to around 10% then skyrocketed to around 40% when pot became legal. Expect the levels of THC to increase even higher in the coming years as the growing and processing becomes even more efficient. Why? Because the goal here is to maximize the high and of course the company's profits. Again, we have no idea what massive amounts of THC will do to the human body.
Seems you were right about that and I misremembered the number for ditchweed (probably 0.1%, I'm now thinking). My bad.
skyrocketed to around 40% when pot became legal.
Not what the video says; he says "the products that are being sold today can contain above 30 percent THC" (emphasis added) and his chart at 3:37 shows a little over 10% as today's norm.
And to repeat, "It’s like comparing hard alcohol to beer. One simply needs to use less of it to achieve the same effect."
Lower the taxes on legal cannabis & let states decide whether it should be legal or not within THEIR BORDERS!
As a legal cannabis patient I have not had to buy illegal cannabis a single time.
